Chapter 1: Trouble with Goblins

[Shurijo]

Tyre leans his back against the wall and tries to catch his breath. After that battle, the young man would like to take a few minutes to rest and recover, but he knows that they may not be fortunate enough to have the extra time to spare. Other goblins may have heard the battle and may soon be joining them.

[Galen]

Maressa yells to Urlath as he runs off.

"Hold up big guy. We need to keep together. Even you could get dragged down by a handfull of these buggers."

She then turns to the others.

"get some rest and make sure we get this gate set up before we move on. I don't want to get trapped down here if we get outnumbered."

At that she slumps against the wall and takes a deep breath.

[MindWright]

Tavar sighs deeply and once again dispels the spirit calling it back into the hallway, then heals Urlath and Lucan for a surge granting the bonus d6 healing to Berrian each time.

OOC

I have lost my character sheet not sure if I have any of the healing boost feats.

"I think it would be wise to wait here for a bit longer so we can further recover. None of them got away to raise the alarm."

It seems for a moment Urlath isn't coming back, but finally he wanders back around the corner. "Big steel door. Might be better to rip out the window bars than try that." as he speaks he wanders to the windows and gives an experimental yank as though trying to decide if that'd be possible.

OOC

Seem like a waste to rest, but I've got so many surges...I'll rest and spend one surge.

[Nate]

Taking a moment the group takes a few minutes to catch their breath. Wounds are patched, and cleaned, and the two acessable goblin bodies are quickly gone through. Neither seems to have much of worth, though both carry a large worn key.

OOC

Held off on opening the grate becuase that would push you out of the 5 minute break.

Berrian's extra healing from tavar

MW, can you pm me your email address? I can send the character sheet over to you.

Jamwes with no response I just had you use a surge which put you to full.

Berrian stands around and surveys the aftermath of their skirmish with the goblins. A sudden thought comes to him.

"Should we hide the bodies?" Berrian asks his cohorts. "We might not want to risk giving away our presence any sooner than necessary."

Then he has another thought.

"What about the corpses in there?" Berrian asks, pointing in one of the windows.

[MindWright]

"I don't know if it will help much, but I can at least do something about them."

Tavar summons his spirit in the adjoining room, directing it to nudge the door shut and drag the bodies over to a position where they will be at least partially hidden by the winch.

"We can drag these down around the corner."

[Galen]

"Lets get this portcullis raised permanently." Maresas says after resting. "I don't want to be stuck if things start going badly."

This will probably constitute multiple rounds of actions, which I'm throwing in one post, just to get it out of the way. Naturally, if someone else's action might contradict my own, I'll need to reassess where I'll go from there. Otherwise, assuming that no one else has anything that they need to do, and that I don't encounter any interference, this is how it would go down.

Berrian takes a look through the window into the next room and, without saying a word, disappears on the spot, reappearing next to the corpse of the recently deceased goblin. He searches the goblin for some key that might lock the door.

After, he gestures toward the door, which seems to close on its own. Were he to recover a key from the body, he goes to lock the door, before heading back to the winch and raising the portcullis.

Finally, after waiting for his power to recharge, he reappears along side his waiting comrades.

Actions

Round 1:

Move: Fey Step to square E3, next to diseased goblin G6
Standard: Search G6 for key
Minor: Mage Hand on door. (I seem to recall, Nate, that we had discussed the use of this power, in that fashion and you'd said that you were cool with it)

Round 2:

Move: To now closed door.
Standard: Attempt to lock it. (I will use a key, if one was recovered.)

Round 3:

Move: To portcullis winch.
Standard: Raise the gate.

Round 4: (happens after necessary wait period and barring any interruptions.)

Move: Fey Step back to other side of the wall.

I realize that this is quite a lot of activity to include in one post, but this I do to keep things moving. If it doesn't all go down like this, I'll make the necessary changes. Thank you!

"Be careful over there Berrian," Lucan grunted.
